Abstract:
Three dimensional imaging is increasingly important for evaluation of anatomic relationships and extent of disease, for treatment planning and for follow-up evaluation. The volume rendering technique allows creation of accurate 3D images that can be used for several clinical applications especially in musculo-skeletal disorders such as evaluation of tumors or fractures. This article describes the methods used for volume rendering technique and focuses on the specific aspects of volume rendering applied to musculo-skeletal applications.

Gross Anatomy of Bone
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in adults, it...

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
